- Expect wounded England to bounce back hard, Ireland seem to be in implode mode at the minute.
- Wales are still turgid.
- Italy won't win, but a draw last time out v the frog and good showings v Scots and Ireland, I don't think they are 30 point losers here.

No matter how low expectations sink, Wales continue to underperform them, while France continue to overperform theirs. My Ireland fandom has been a huge liability for me so far but I still absolutely refuse to back England over them.

Sidenote: I'll be in Norway for Rounds 4 and 5, so may be delayed getting results out.

Fun 6N this has been overall though - not sure the Scots can stop the frogs from claiming the GS though.

Edit:
forgot to include the wider sheet with all tips thus far - any errors please shout!

As I suspected (and always have for spread betting), going utterly random proved to be more successful.

I'll go with 3 Sells for the next week please.

Wales gave everything they had against Scotland and were much improved, but I suspect that's a flash in a pan rather than a corner turned.
Scotland at home with a points start, even against a hot frog team should keep it close enough, suspect France do it by 7-9 though.
England apparently ringing the changes, but should at least 8 points better than Italy surely. Wouldn't be surprised if Italy pinch it though, they are getting closer.
